How did the American experience shape the prosecution function early in our country's history?
What will be an ideal response?
Americans chose a public decentralized system of local prosecution offices with elected prosecutors. Crimes are against the state not against an individual person. Having localized prosecution gave Americans greater freedom from the British government and led to the continuance of a decentralized prosecution. Switching from appointed prosecutors to elected prosecutors occurred out of the need to continue democracy.
